What’s not to love about Patrón’s XO Cafe Incendio? I adore this and I have only had a bottle for 2 days and only opened it last night. YUMMY! This is a great liqueur to be treated as a full-bodied spirit because it can take a boring cocktail and turn it into something sinfully delish!
What is XO Cafe Incendio?
XO Cafe Incendio is the key ingredient in these cocktails. I am sharing (courtesy of Patron) some of their most wickedly delicious Patrón XO Café Incendio cocktails. Cafe Incendio is made with Patrón Silver Tequila, Mexican arbol chile and Criollo chocolate. It’s a distinctively sweet and spicy liqueur that’s perfect for sipping on the rocks, in a variety of cocktails, mixed with coffee for an after-dinner delight or a sweet treat for your Halloween party (the Milky Way cocktail is perfect for the adult trick or treater).
Courtesy of “Team Patrón”, I got a great Halloween gift. I had NO idea what was in it.
Here are photos of the unwrapping process: Clearly the box is all about Halloween!
#1 It’s SPOOKY.. and lots of orange paper stuffing
#2 I love the SPOOKY Sign and it’s now hanging in my house
#3 The box included a bear headpiece/headband. I tried it on the dog but she refused a photo opp!
#4The box was filled with Milky Way Minis.. and I stuffed them into the glasses!
#5 I have my very own bottle of Cafe Incendio XO.. and it’s definitely an XO relationship with Cafe Incendio! YUM!
#6 A note was sent along with the recipe:

I would like to thank Patrón for sending me the Cafe Incendio XO with all the milky way minis and the pair of glasses. Such fun to have a coffee with the Incendio “touch” in it. It’s hot on my list- not only for Halloween but all upcoming holiday 2015 events!
